An Appeal on behalf of Watford and District Peace Memorial Hospital
By Viscount Knutsford
The object of today's appeal is the special interest of Viscount Knutsford, who lives at Munden, Watford, and none knows better how urgently the Watford Peace Memorial Hospital needs funds. It is greatly in need of £25,000 to build a Nurses' Home and for very necessary extensions.
Lord Knutsford writes: 'Watford is one of those difficult places to cater for. It is just outside London, which means a very rapid growth of population of the working-class order, and it is traversed in all ways by big main roads. It being twenty miles from London, it is beyond the reach of King Edward's Fund and other funds for hospitals in the Metropolitan area.
'We shall indeed be grateful if, as a result of the broadcast, our extension scheme can be brought within the range of practical politics. We have raised locally some £10,000 towards it.'
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
